As countless other
hopeless souls with an addiction to textile, stitch and design will attest: we
didn’t choose it; it chose us. Right from the moment we picked up our
first crayon.
Being chosen has
its drawbacks: you take on wildly time-consuming projects, spend hours
isolated in your studio, and create work that you need to explain to 99% of the
world is art, not craft. But the projects stretch you in wonderful ways, the
studio becomes a haven where you can regain sanity, and showing your work to
the world – well, it’s tough, but it builds character.
I live in Ottawa,
Canada, with my husband and three children in their late teens and early 20’s,
so it is often tough to carve out time for art. When I do, my media of choice
are cheesecloth, linen, burlap and paint.
